We dropped off my son at college today. It is his first year. My | |
wife is sad and has been dreading this day, even more so since he | |
graduated from high school. I am ok and I think he is ready to go. | |
My son is excited to go. | |
For me, it just seems fast, like all of it. He was here and growing | |
up and now he has moved on to the next stage. I remember going | |
through it myself and I know that my relationship changed with my | |
parents when I left. I am interested in seeing what will happen | |
with us next. | |
There is a mix of happiness, sadness, mixed emotions. My wife | |
doesn't want any of the sadness so she is out with her cousins so | |
she can be distracted. I just stayed home to process this in my | |
own way. I'd write more about it but there is just nothing right | |
now. Just to sit here with this. He should be fine. | |
I wanted to take a nap earlier, but ended up just futzing around | |
with music. Fun, but didn't really seem to go anywhere, so I stopped | |
after about an hour. Maybe I'll practice other people's music later | |
this evening. In the meantime, I gotta look for some food. | |
